PRICE 5 CENTS TEXAS CHRISTIAN ELEVEN Husker Hopes to Participate In Southern Classic Dashed Tuesday. SCARLET CHANCES GOOD Bible's Return Adds Interest But Committee Extends Frogs Invitation. Nebraska will not go to the Susrar Jiowl. Campus enthusiasm, looking nimbly toward New Orleans Tuesday in the hope that Ne braska would be invited to the Sugar Bowl mix, received a ruth less awakening late. Tuesday night when Texas Christian uni versity was extended and ac cepted Louisiana State's invitation to particpate in the New Years day festivities in New Orleans. T. C. U. Surprise Bid. Reports early Tuesday after noon indicated that the selection had narrowed down to Marquette and Nebraska. Fordham's refusal to accept the invitation which, incidentally, had never been ex tended to her placed the Corn buskers up in the money, with a strong chance of being chosen. However. John SeUeck, repre senting Nebraska's official policy in Coach Bible's absence on a trip to Fort Worth, refused to com ment on the subject, stating that, to the best of his knowledge, Ne braska had not received a bid. Squad Meets. Immediately upon Coach Bible's arrival in Lincoln Tuesday after noon a promising light was cast on the matter in the meeting of the football squad in the stadium. Altho eligibility was the original purpose of the 5 o'clock meeting, it was thought that Coach Bible possibly had received an invita tion by wire and was discussing its acceptance with the team. But the Husker mentor, inter viewed afterward, denied that he had been given a bid, stating that no formal invitation had been ex tended and that all such state ments would have to come from New Orleans. Refusing to make any state ments as to whether Nebraska would be chosen, he emphasized that even then the trip was by no means certain. Had an invitation been received, faculty approval would have been required thru the athletic board, and. with that se cured, permission would have been necessary from the Big Six to overlook the post-season ruling. A ROUND AND BOUT With Sarmh Lauua Merer There are some people who are always on the spot when anything happens. Such a soul is Elr-n Daly who. in western Nebraska, nas ex perienced floods, blizzards, and drouths, to say nott of the draughts that figure so..iewhat in her story of the fatal accident of last week end. And no one could tell a thing with more gusto or relish than Ellen, the Cambridge laconteur. However, we still like the tale of Arroand Hunter, who by nature Is also suspicious. When one half of a two car caravan of Players was bit by an automobile which was swerving swiftly toward Kan sas bis nose for detectiving swung into action. Craftily he approached the of fending car, which had done a complete about face from the im pact of the collision, and was re posing in a ditch on the wrong side of the road. Belligerently he opened the door, asked to look around, and, warily eyed by the two occupant, began a search. -.Triumphantly he found and pounced on what he was looking for, and with a smile of I-told-you-ik, took the bottle out to the head lights to examine it. In tbe glare of the lamps he discovered that in his hand he held a small, unopened container of vanilla. Conversation these days is mere shilly-shally unless it treats of James Stephens. The aftermath of the man is really tremendous. We were discussing him t'other day at Thanksgiving dinner, especially as pertains to his astonishing breathless moun tain poem. My own dear father, en trenched behind the turkey, and hearing only the spatter of the literary fusllade, snorted: "Read a poem all in one breath? Humph! How about Evange line?"
